Abstract:

This paper is about Seafaring Lives in Transition, Mediterranean Maritime Labour and Shipping, 1850s–1920s (SeaLiT), an international research project funded by the ERC Starting Grant 2016. SeaLiT started in February 2017 and has a duration of five years. The project explores the transition from sail to steam navigation and its effects on seafaring populations in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea between the 1850s and the 1920s. In the core of the project lie the effects of technological innovation on seafaring people and maritime communities, whose lives were drastically altered by the advent of steam. The project addresses the changes through the actors, seafarers, shipowners and their families, focusing on the adjustment of seafaring lives to a novel socio-economic reality. It investigates the maritime labour market, the evolving relations among shipowner, captain, crew and their local societies, life on board and ashore, as well as the development of new business strategies, trade routes and navigation patterns. The project offers a comparative perspective, investigating both collectivities and individuals, on board the ships and on shore in a number of big and small ports from Barcelona up to Odessa, in the Black Sea.

Abstract:

In antiquity, the sea held an important place in the hearts and minds of those living in the Mediterranean region, and maritime motifs were popular across a range of literary and artistic genres. Classical maritime imagery was transmitted almost seamlessly into early medieval and Byzantine cultural identity, despite its overt polytheistic connotations. Mosaics depicting maritime deities and mythological seafaring scenes were installed in private residences and Christian churches. Poets wrote of Fortune steering the ship of life and orators spoke of leaders at the helm of their state. Didactic and ecclesiastical texts taught of the corrupting nature of merchants and the sea, and compared the trials and tribulations of everyday life and faith with storms and squalls. The Christian church also became viewed as a ship or safe harbour. Seafaring imagery was regularly imbued with both traditional and contemporary religious, political, and cultural relevance. This paper argues that the ongoing popularity of maritime symbolism was not only a throwback to classical times or because seafaring themes had a greater relevance to Christians than non-Christians. Thalassa (the Sea) had always been important in Greek and Roman thought, and she acquired a more tangible and pervasive presence in the lives of those in the late antique Roman East. Unlike Rome, the eastern capital at Constantinople was itself a great maritime entrepot. The maritime cultural milieu that dominated coastal Mediterranean regions played an influential role in the city and its far-reaching empire. Constantinople sat at the centre of a vast network of seaports and was a major hub of Roman culture and communication. With the city's foundation, classical maritime imagery acquired a contemporary cultural and political relevance; even as the Graeco-Roman world slowly evolved into a Christian one.

Abstract:

The revival of the shanty accompanied the decline of the UK’s shipping industry in the mid-twentieth century. It was dominated by the larger-than-life figure of Stan Hugill, a former shantyman who ensured the continuation of this musical tradition through his performances and books. But in fact, as shanty authority the late Roy Palmer has pointed out, the idea of reviving a dying art had been a concern by the end of the nineteenth century. Following this, folk-song collectors like Cecil Sharp made concerted efforts to document shanties but also to make adaptations (such as censoring the lyrics and providing piano accompaniments) to enable them to be performed on land – even on the concert platform – by those who had little or no direct experience of seafaring. Although this seems to be the complete opposite to Hugill’s approach of connecting the songs with their traditional maritime context, both aimed to ensure that shanties remained relevant. This article considers the continuation of these attitudes to the shanty in the twenty-first century. The recent resurgence in shanty singing in the UK has taken place alongside the regeneration of many UK port areas, the (re-)development of sailortowns as contemporary tourist destinations and associated attempts to connect the public with maritime heritage. I will focus in particular on the Falmouth (Cornwall) International Sea Shanty Festival, exploring the aims and motivations of different performing groups and analysing their contemporary approaches to music which is inextricably linked with seafaring history.

Abstract:

Islamic polities of the classical period recognized the importance of seaweeds in their daily life. Their men of science, craftsmen, and navigators used them for medicinal purposes, manufacturing, and navigation. The agar components were used in treating pathological conditions such jaundice, spleen, kidney and skin ailments, and malignancies. As food, we stress that our conclusions derive from Qur'ān-based commentaries and Muslim religious law that encouraged seafaring and exploiting the resources of the sea. Concerning navigation, sailors could identify coastal trunk routes, shallows, and various marine phenomena; shipwrights used agar compounds as a protective coating against the Greek Fire. Like their Greco-Roman counterparts, Muslim physicians, chemists, botanists, and professional sailors of this period were acquainted with numerous species of seaweeds and could appreciate the actual scientific importance of each type as well as the aquatic environment where these species lived and developed. Their scholarly literature consists of several generic Arabic and Arabicized terms to denote seaweeds and the terms variations appeared to be physical rather than linguistic.

Abstract:

The author argues that there are at present three good reasons to introduce education about religions and philosophies of life as a compulsory subject in all European secondary schools: (1) the growing complexity of religions and life philosophies in European societies; (2) the weakening role of traditional religious institutions in the transmission of religious knowledge to the next generations; (3) the growing number of social conflicts thought to be related to religious issues. In the view of the author, the educational programme should consist of three parts, with specific application of each of these parts to the religious history of the Netherlands. Part 1 would have to deal with the historical separation between State and Religion and the origin of the prevailing constitutional principles concerning religions and philosophies of life. Part 2 would deal with the origin of the Netherlands as a Protestant State and with the the social and political emancipation of Catholicism and Judaism in the history of the Netherlands. Part 3 would focus on the history of philosophies of life and religions in the Netherlands after the Second World War, and especially with Islam. At the end of his article, the author criticizes the lack of knowledge and understanding of Islam, prevailing in important Dutch text books used at secondary schools.

Abstract:

Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) was banished from Holland in 1679. Why did this humanist scholar get into so much trouble in the most tolerant part of Europe in the seventeenth century? In an attempt to answer this question, this thesis places Beverland's writings on sex, sin, Scripture, and scholarship in their historical context for the first time. Beverland argued that lust was the original sin and highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, ancient history, and his own society. His works were characterized by his erudite Latin, satirical style, and disregard for traditional genres and hierarchies in early modern scholarship. Dutch theologians disliked his theology and exegesis, and hated his use of erudition to mock their learning, morality, and authority. Beverland's humanist colleagues did not support his studies either, because they believed that drawing attention to the sexual side of the classics threatened the basis of the humanist enterprise. When theologians asked for his arrest and humanist professors left him to his fate, Dutch magistrates were happy to convict Beverland because he had insolently accused the political and economic, as well as the religious and intellectual elite of the Dutch Republic, of hypocrisy. By restricting sex to marriage, in compliance with Reformed doctrine, secular authorities upheld a sexual morality that was unattainable, Beverland argued. He proposed honest discussion of the problem of sex and suggested that greater sexual liberty for the male elite might be the solution. Beverland's crime was to expose the gap between principle and practice in sexual relations in Dutch society, highlighting the hypocrisy of a deeply conflicted elite at a precarious time. His intervention came at the moment when the uneasy balance struck between Reformed orthodoxy, humanist scholarship, economic prosperity, and patrician politics, which had characterized the Golden Age of the Dutch Republic, was disintegrating, with unsettling consequences for all concerned. Placing Beverland's fate in this context of change provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual environment of the Republic in the last decades of the seventeenth century.

Over the past two centuries, the study of history has expanded its field of enquiry so that men and women, barely considered of importance in their own day, may now hold scholarly attention far more than their contemporaries might ever have thought - let alone thought them worthy of it. Partly this a consequences of coincidence, chance preservation of records pertaining to a ‘common’ man or woman; partly it is a consequence of the caprice of historians, who may have their own reasons for rearranging the historical stage. Nowadays historians are more prone to do so, and the likes of Menocchio and Martin Guerre may be now known more widely than they ever were in their lifetime - the latter even making the rare jump from the historian’s domain of books to the public’s Hollywood film screen. The protagonist of this thesis, the Dutch seventeenth-century ‘minor thinker’ Pieter Plockhoy is - at least at face value - such a minor historical actor whose posthumous fame, limited as it is, nevertheless may well be greater than he ever enjoyed in his own day. Plockhoy was of modest social status and played a comparatively modest public role during the later 1650s and the early 1660s, but, though he was scarcely present on the contemporary historical stage, after his rediscovery at the end of the nineteenth century - incidentally at the same time as Gerrard Winstanley, who has far eclipsed Plockhoy’s modest fame - modern scholars have singled him out as an outstanding historical persona, indeed, as some have put it, as the ‘Father of Socialism’.1 Nowadays he is connected more often to Spinoza and Dutch radical thought, and continues to be mentioned in scholarly - and occasionally not so scholarly - publications. Though he has not yet been visualized on film screens - unlike Guerre or Winstanley - he has been the hero of an American radio-play in the 1950s. Nevertheless, even within the scholarly community Plockhoy’s name has remained something vaguely heard of, at best. Usually the response to mentioning his name is: ‘Who was Plockhoy?’. This elementary question will be addressed first, after which an overview of the Plockhoy historiography will lead to the questions which this thesis aims to answer.

This is a thesis on micro-history that has the life-experiences of individual women as its central theme. These women did not live spectacular lives; they were not famous or well known by their contemporaries and hardly any of them are remembered today. What made them remarkable was their migration overseas from their home regions in Norway to the Dutch Republic. This is their contribution to history. The central theme of this book is the Norwegian female migrants in the early modern Dutch Republic in general and, specifically, the Norwegian female migrants in Amsterdam and Hoorn. On an individual level these Norwegian women have been studied and their life-experiences have been analyzed by using numerous different sources, both Dutch and Norwegian. However, though the results are unique, satisfying and will certainly contribute to ongoing research on migrants, there are lacunas in this work which need to be addressed before the results are presented.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter considers the possible social and institutional contexts for male–male sex in Northern Europe. The Church was one example, furnishing a number of known cases. The evidence from schools and universities is, however, very limited. Seafaring yielded only a small tally of cases in both England and the Netherlands; known cases involving soldiers are also rare. Members of the nobility were seldom prosecuted. In late-17th-century France, the upper nobility were virtually beyond the reach of the law in such matters. Some were notorious sodomites, though the widely repeated story of their forming a secret ‘confraternity’ in the 1680s was probably fictitious. Accusations against monarchs, and especially against their favourites, were politically motivated; there is no clear evidence of sodomy in the case of either Henri III of France or James VI and I of Scotland and England.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the two faced relationship between Scotland and the Danish-Norwegian realm in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. On one hand the relationship was characterized by conflicts and direct warfare like the Kringen Massacre in 1612 and the Scottish-Norwegian war in 1666-1667. On the other hand Scottish soldiers, shipbuilders and traders settled in Norway and played an important part in the military and the economy, but also the civil administration of the realm. The conclusion is that the moments of episodic conflict is not the best way of understanding historical relations between Scotland and Norway. Though undoubtedly traumatic for those killed, injured, or financially damaged, the truth is that life continued pretty much as before and undisturbed. War apparently provided no legal obstacle to the continuation of trade, and the expansion of ethnic Scottish communities in Norway.

This chapter discusses the state of Massachusetts’ development of an educational program that encourages citizen science in maritime archaeology. With over 3,500 documented shipwrecks, Massachusetts has an abundance of maritime history, heritage, and archaeological resources within a relatively small geographic area. In 2015, the non-profit organization Seafaring Education and Maritime Archaeological Heritage Program created the state’s first accredited educational programming in maritime archaeology, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources. Participants received hands-on training within the “life cycle” of an historic ship: from its “birth” through researching of ship construction, its “adult life” through sailing of a traditional boat, and its “death and afterlife” through experiential learning. Given their new skills and interests, several participants returned as leaders for field schools, joined state projects as trained volunteers, and even became self-directed citizen scientists.

Abstract:

This chapter illustrates a twofold journey of Conversos, a physical trek northward to freedom and a spiritual journey to the practice of Judaism, throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They had no personal experience of life in a Jewish community after the Expulsion from Spain. What united them was a sense of shared oppression at the hands of the Inquisition in Portugal and the collective memory, however faint, of being portugueses de la nación hebrea, homens de nação, or simply members of the nação, the 'Nation'. The chapter explores a distinctive social unit that Conversos formed with extraordinarily tight bonds in Seville, Madrid, Lima, and elsewhere, and a sense of kinship with other Portuguese and Spanish Conversos, wherever they were. This background produced a new and different historical trajectory. The Amsterdam community outstripped the others in culture and affluence and served as their model and guide. Amsterdam, in turn, drew its models of the Jewish community from the Sephardim of Venice. It also examines the emerging new political reality, United Provinces of the Netherlands, and a new model of the Jewish community, the western Sephardi diaspora.

Abstract The association between drugs and dancing extends back to ancient times. Parallels can be seen between spontaneous medieval ‘dance epidemics’ and contemporary use of MDMA at dance parties. As a forerunner, MDA was used at dance parties in the late 1960s. However, it was only when the MDMA enthusiast Michael Clegg began to sell MDMA in parts of the Texas night-life scene that the synergy of MDMA and dancing spontaneously arose around 1983, which led to the rapid distribution of MDMA as a ‘dance drug’. From 1985 onwards, MDMA enjoyed a new career as a dance drug and found its way to Europe via the dance scene on the Spanish island of Ibiza: Ibiza dance parties were visited by some prominent disc jockeys from the UK, who became enthusiastic MDMA aficionados and launched the first MDMA-fuelled dance parties in London. The Netherlands, with its more tolerant drug policy and international trade through its capital Amsterdam, also became a distribution hub. The evolution of musical styles related to MDMA-fuelled dance parties are outlined, together with the more important events surrounding them, and descriptions of the experiences of ravers, both positive and negative, are also presented.

Abstract:

Based on a series of interviews with 38 British and Dutch cradle communists who participated in an oral history project about communist family life, this chapter explores communist home life and focuses on participants’ political and cultural upbringing. It shows the more practical ways in which family time was structured, before discussing parental prescriptions and aspirations. What kind of parents did Communist Party members want to be and were they inspired by Soviet ideology? Were their aspirations fundamentally different from those of non-communist working-class parents? Searching for answers to these questions, this chapter maps the theory and practice of a communist upbringing and examines the considerable contrast between the two. It specifically looks at gender roles, sexuality, pedagogical values, and morality.

Abstract:

<p>This paper describes the history of a heritage bridge in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and the efforts made for the relocation of this bridge. Investigations were made to determine the structural integrity of the original elements and structural assessments were done to find the remaining capacity for future use. The Ultimate Limit State for the original elements was investigated. Lateral stability was checked and based on the historical use and the required future use the fatigue loads were calculated for the different cross sections and for critical connections. These calculations showed that a required residual service life of 30 years after relocation was technically possible for this bridge. Some pros and cons for the re-use of this bridge are also discussed.</p>

Abstract:

Down through the centuries, Amsterdam has always been a compactly built city. There were good reasons for the compactness. It was not easy to make the marshy ground suitable for building. Water courses had to be filled in, marshlands drained, dikes had to be constructed and canals dug. Until the 19th century, the city had to be defended by walls and city ramparts from the surrounding dangers. It was only safe to life inside those walls. Even now there are still good reasons for continuing to build compactly. The Netherlands is a densely populated country where space and nature are scarce; the space we have has to well used, so city expansions were always carefully planned. There’s always been a tension between the need to build compactly and the quality of living in the city. In the history of Amsterdam can be seen how it was necessary to choose between density and space. In periods when the economy was flourishing, such as the 17th century, the city allowed itself more space. In periods of stagnation, buildings were placed increasingly close to each other. But, as architect Rietveld said, “In a properly built city, the scale of a dwelling can be closer to that of a big roomy coat with inside pockets than to a castle.”
